Most ladies maintain an online photo gallery and need access to tools that can crop, resize or optimize their photos for the web. The most efficient way would probably be for you to use a desktop editor such as Gimp (free) or Photoshop (not free and probably overkill). However, for on-the-fly edits or if you just don’t want to mess with downloading, installing or learning how to use a desktop editor - there are a couple of online tools that are incredibly feature-rich and easy to use.
